I cant help you with the screen problem during a phone call but maybe I can help with the gps. My regular w8 couldnt get a gps lock at first either. I downloaded an app from the play store called GPS Status. It has a menu option in tools to manage a-gps state which allows you to reset the gps data and download the assistance data from the internet.

Then take the gps outside with a clear view of the sky and wait 15 mins. It should lock on almost instantly the next time. It takes only about a min to get a lock now on my phones gps but I was worried at first. Just reset the data download the assistance data and then there isnt anything to worry about.

is there any chance that the quad band wcdma radio from a zopo zp810 (mtk6589) would work on our device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donmantovani:
Thanks for the tip, I tried it today because I had a 2 hour drive to home, but still it did not work. The gps was searching the whole trip. There might be some issue with the firmware I guess.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SV650Sk6:
I went into the zp810 forum here and begged for the baseband/modem package. maybe someone will come through
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcadesdude:
The initial lock will work better if you leave it sit stationary for about 15 mins. After that a 'moving lock' happens much quicker. Have you tried leaving it out while not driving and see if it gets a lock? If it doesn't after being still for a 15mins with a clear view of the sky (not indoors) then I would say the gps/firmware may be at fault. You could try a different rom (are you using gravitymod2? stock?) Or it could just be defective hardware but I would try those things first and see what happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donmantovani:
I tried the GPS again, like you suggested, but unfortunately it did not work. I am using the stock ROM, and I am not sur that the gravitymode2 works on my phone because it is 8P128. Thanks anyway.

GPS accuracy of chinese phones are awful. The only chinese android device I found accurate was Gpad F117 7" 3G MTK6575 tablet. Of course, brand models like Samsung / Asus Nexus 7 is pretty much accurate in GPS.

My ThL W8 looks like getting a good signal but I am frequently shown at wrong street due to accuracy problems. Despite the fact that it shows 14-20 feet accuracy, it is more like 100-150 feet accuracy which is pretty damn unusable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch-vox:
I'm really surprised, when I use my ThL W8 with softwares like RunKeeper (Mountain Biking, Running, etc.) GPS is very accurate. Look at the example below, I've made this test yesterday... Track fits perfectly Google Maps.

game problem

i have a Thl W8 8Gb rom. installed GravityMod2 and re-partition internal memory and phone storage to 3Gb and 3.5Gb.

I have 2 problems now:

1- SP tool cant find my phone

2- Some games wont start for ex. Modern Combat 4 v1.0.5 and Galaxy on fire 2. when i start those games, they exit after a second or two and i get back on phone apps screen. I have tested NFS shift and it runs ok. I haven't tested playing games on stock rom.

Can someone explain why this happens?

I have bought THL W8+ 16gb version with Full HD 1080p screen. Its on way. Hope very soon will get it.

My question is : There are several versions of THL W8 . 4gb . 8gb versions with 720p screen and 16gb version with 1080p screen resolution. The firmware this versions use are the same? Or THL W8 16gb uses different firmware? On thl website in download section I can see firmware for download indicated as W8. It fits all W8 versions? Can I update W8 16gb version with that firmware ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
You can't use firmware made for W8 4GB/8GB on W8+ since they have different hardware (screen), thus different kernel.

However, I have adapted my custom rom (GravityMod2) to be compatible with both: W8 as well as W8+
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turnad0z:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
So your rom GravityMod2 compatible with both versions? Ok thats good! Now regarding rooting process and cwm flash on thl w8+ 16gb.... its the same as w8 4gb/8 or different ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
You don't need to install cwm, nor root it prior to flashing rom, in case you choose SP Flash Tool method (which is the one and only method of installing GM2 for W8+ so far). Custom roms are typically already rooted. So is GM2.

Hi,

I just got my W8+ yesterday. I am also facing the same problem. My phone is 8P128. I tried flashing the GravityMod2 using the Flash tool method, but I get the error 8038 and the flash aborts.

I am downloading the stock rom from http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=4213659546 . I hope this helps.

[EDIT 1]

I already have the same build .

Can anyone help?

[EDIT 2]

Ok, got GM2 to flash. Here is what I did. I copied the files from Stock rom not present in the GM2 rom and then used the 'Upgrade firmware' option from Flash tool. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
Hello.

I have this phone for a couple of days now, huge improvement over my old Moto Atrix4g.

Even managed to brick it and unbrick it already, great fun. :)

I do have a question about its charging speed.

I am using a different charger from what was supplied with the device, mine is rated at 1mAh while the one which came with the phone is rated at 0.5mAh.

Even so charging it takes ages, (while at ~40% charge) it takes about 4 minutes to charge 1% whether it's on or off, with either of the chargers (slightly longer with the 0.5mAh one).

This translate to a long charge time, so I was wondering, is it just me or is this normal?

On the upside, battery life is great.

THL W8+ Home Button.

Hi

I have before 5 day , bought the THLW8+.

I immediately noticed that the Home button is not working as it should.

On the internet I have found nothing more accurate.

Is it possible that the home button works as the Galaxy s3 or 4?

I still have the possibility to send them back to China, but will not.

If it later should be possible, I want to keep it,

otherwise I would not keep it.

If it will never work, I no longer want it.

W8 or W8+?

What do you folks prefer, W8 or W8+? Does W8+ use battery much faster on account of the higher-res screen? Which one is the better device (yeah, I know it's a matter of taste)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
I have the W8 and I'm very happy about the screen, I did not expect such a quality screen at this price.

The added resolution of the W8+ adds to the strain of the GPU, I don't game much so I can't comment on that.

My battery is 4 days old so probably isn't yet calibrated, as I said in an earlier post it charges dreadfully slowly.

How ever after 15 hours of moderate use and 2.5 hours of screen time, still reported about 50% battery left; need more time to know if it's true though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Premise:
And which W8 version is this? Most W8's I see for sale are 16GB versions, but AFAIK that version is not supported by GravityMod2.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iGarni:
Yep agree. Hope they do it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Photosphere requires a gyroscope which almost all phones since 2 years have. So it will work. The reason it's not included in CM and only in Nexus devices is because it's not open source i.e. a part of AOSP. It's a closed source app called GoogleGallery.apk because it uses Google's proprietary street view technology. That said, just putting the GoogleGallery.apk and it's related lib files in a CM ROM, it'll work. So even if it is not included Xperia Z (I think I won't be), it should be possible to copy/flash the GoogleGallery.apk and related libs into the system partition and have it work.

1. Be s-off

2. Use either the og ENG hboot or my modded hboot.

3.. Reboot to bootloader

4. Fastboot flash splash1 titleofsplash.img

5. Fastboot reboot.

For using the down animation:

1. Be rooted

2. Place zip in /system/customize/resource via adb or root explorer

*Note* depending on the Rom, the down animation could be titled differently. It may be hTC_downanimation.zip
